Publisher's Summary

Bloomsbury presents The Long COVID Self-Help Guide by Specialists from the Post COVID Clinic, Oxford, read by Gavin Osborn.

The first practical, accessible self-help guide to managing symptoms of long COVID.

More than one million people suffer from long COVID in the UK (with 400,000 people suffering symptoms for over a year) and many more globally. Yet there is no clear guidance available to the general public and lots of misinformation out there.

This handbook cuts through the confusing advice. Written by the medical experts working with long COVID patients at one of the first specialist clinics set up, it is filled with helpful case studies and was written with the involvement of real long COVID sufferers. The focus is on self-management with a simple, consistent message about improving symptoms.

Each chapter takes a different issue in turn and offers clear, friendly guidance on key areas such as breathlessness, psychological aspects, brain fog, fatigue, returning to exercise and returning to work.

Very informative and helpful

For anyone suffering from long covid symptoms weeks or months after getting covid, this is a really helpful, reassuring and informative book. I highly recommend it to anyone, even before reaching the 12 week mark for long covid. I've had fatigue, muscle aches, headaches and dizziness for 7 weeks and I have found waiting to get into a long covid clinic to get the expert advice to be a long wait when feeling terrible! This book has some really helpful advice and has helped me change my thinking about how to proceed. I found the chapter on fatigue particularly helpful with its advice regarding pacing yourself (otherwise you have boom or bust times, of which I've had plenty). I found the advice that watching tv/reading a book/scrolling the internet is not 'resting' (only doing absolutely nothing is) to be particularly useful info. Thank you to the team at the Oxford LC clinic for putting this together
